Favorite Trail:
Tapeworm/Parasite
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
This review is for the Bontrager Race Disc TLR that came off a Fuel EX8 and went onto my Santa Cruz Chameleon.
Durable! I'm been really surprised by these wheels. It was ridden for about three months in and around the Seattle area before I returned to Iowa where them around here as well.
Weaknesses:
None really. They aren't super light, but then they aren't really very high end either.
Bike Setup:
currently, a Santa Cruz Heckler with DHX coil, 32 Vanilla, X9 and XT.
Bottom Line:
Surprisingly great wheels. I originally planned to upgrade after a little while but even under my 250 lb weight they have held up great. Barely needed touched up today when I put them in the truing stand. I keep wanting to pick up some Kings or I9s but since these are doing so well I've had trouble justifying it.
